That Walmart is about 15 minutes from me. It's one of the lily-whitest areas of South Jersey...less than 5% black according to Wiki, and I'd say that's generous. Meaningless and harmless prank.

Humanity has now established a baseline for the particular sins that a hot body does not atone for.

Seems like a directly proportional statement: they are worried about accreditation and they have too many sports bars.

Found a book that I think would be much better for my summer course. List price is almost $200 to students :rolleyes:

Yuck. Thankfully the hospitality courses that I am thinking about taking throught the American Hotel and Lodging Association are in the price range of the FTE intro courses, and do not, to my knowledge, require books beyond those fees.

Having never personally been involved with one of these, I do wonder if the process is similar to that shown in Up in the Air?

Fiancee's father got one degree worse than UITA the other day. He was laid off in a mass teleconference with one person addressing an assembled room. :eek: Then, as if that's not repugnant enough, the face on the other end starts announcing publicly who is being kept, and naming full names. Tacky much?

Good afternoon, Box.

I was rooting hard for Robert Morris v. 'Nova cuz I love the underdog and figured that would have blown lots of other folks out of the water and not just me.

Doesn't a #13 seed always win every year?

What kind of company did he work for? That really sucks.

Grrr! A positioning flight I booked for one of my MRs is now $90 cheaper than it was when I booked it. Grrr! I should have waited.

Nothing wrong with an OVC pick in the NCAA tournament. If you also picked the Atlantic Sun champs we have an issue.

A 12 beats a 5 pretty much every year.
